I have a Balboa 26 with a very original looking traveler on the main sheet but I need to replace the traveler car and the boom vang. Anyone have any idea how I match up a new traveler car and where to find one.

check with the store on this site...and don;t be shy,ask them all the questions you want in the store ask for help section and they are a great help...

just type in travellers in the store search and you should be in the right store area..

Is it possible for you to post a picture of the track.... showing it's shape and general dimensions.... If it is original to boat you need to understand what type you're looking for..... You can always replace the track and car.... in which case you can use any brand you like.

I will try and get pictures today but it is such an original looking set up that I am hesitant to change it.

That looks like your basic one inch "T" track.... check the various online chandleries and look for "track car slides" here's what Garhauer offers, but you should check Ronstan and Schaeffer, too.

If you want to go to the next level, and have a fully functional, modern traveler system that you will actually use, consider the $250 system shown here

You can leave the cabin top bridge in place for mounting the new system.
